Circle Member Michelle Chapman (Boston 525) has launched a new business this week supplying premium Floral, Orchid and Birthday Gifts nationwide.

Keen to build a business that supports charitable causes, the first charity selected for support is the Meningitis Research Foundation with a donation of £1 being made for each purchase made.

If you are considering sending a Floral gift, Orchid Gift or Birthday Gift to a loved one, please take a look at www.lincolnfloral.co.uk , you could save money compared to the big flower sales sites AND support MRF at the same time.

Everyone at Lincoln Floral is really keen to do everything they can to support this fantastic cause. The work done by the Foundation is invaluable. Since 1989 Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF) has been fighting death and disability from meningitis and septicaemia.

Although big steps forward have been made over the last 20 years nine people will still suffer from meningitis and septicaemia every day in the UK. Six of these will die per week and those who survive may suffer brain damage, deafness and amputations. While meningitis and septicaemia can affect anyone of any age, the under-fives are most at risk. There's still a lot of work to do and we're looking ahead to the next 20 years and fighting meningitis at home and abroad.

To celebrate the launch of the new business and the special link with Ladies Circle, a bespoke Ladies Circle page has been added to the site, offering free Belgian chocolates with selected popular Bouquets & Gifts. Special offers for Circle members will be made available each month so please keep in touch.

A monthly update on funds raised will be published in ‘General News’.

Thank you
